🎨 Frontend (React Focused)
🧑🎨 React-Focused Frontend Backlog: Key Concepts
Frontend work—especially in React—often involves UI/UX development, component design, state management, API integration, and performance optimization. An effective backlog reflects these priorities clearly.
🧭 How to Structure a React-Focused Frontend Backlog
1. Start from the User Journey
Map key screens/pages: Home, Login, Dashboard, etc.
For each screen, define the user stories:
txt
Copy
Edit
As a user, I want to see a list of my projects on the dashboard so that I can manage them easily.
2. Break Down into React-Specific Tasks
For each user story, define frontend tasks like:
UI Components
Design & build <ProjectCard />, <UserAvatar />
Implement responsive layout using CSS/SCSS/Tailwind
State Management
Use React Context, Redux, or Zustand to manage global state
Example: Store current user session or theme settings
API Integration
Use Axios, Fetch, React Query, or SWR to fetch data
Handle loading, error, and success states
Routing
Use react-router-dom for multi-page applications
Define routes and nested layouts
Form Handling & Validation
Use libraries like Formik or React Hook Form
Add schema validation with Yup or Zod
3. Technical Work & Non-Functional Requirements
Include backlog items for:
Component reusability & refactoring
Performance optimization (e.g., lazy loading, code splitting)
Accessibility (WCAG compliance)
Unit & integration testing (Jest + React Testing Library)
Lighthouse audits for performance/SEO
4. Backlog Example (React Project)
Priority Task Type Estimate
High Build <LoginForm /> with validation Component 3 pts
High Integrate /api/login with React Query API 2 pts
Medium Create <Navbar /> with responsive design UI 2 pts
Medium Set up React Router with routes for /home, /dashboard Infra 3 pts
Low Optimize images on homepage Performance 2 pts
Low Write tests for <ProjectCard /> Testing 1 pt
🔄 Use Tags or Labels for Filtering
Label backlog items by type:
component
api-integration
state-management
ux-enhancement
tech-debt
a11y (for accessibility)
bug
🧠 Best Practices for React Backlogs
Keep stories user-centered, but tasks technical
Define acceptance criteria for each story (e.g., “Form must show validation errors on submit”)
Maintain a separate UI design system backlog if using tools like Storybook
Plan for tech spikes if exploring libraries (e.g., "Evaluate Zustand vs. Redux Toolkit")
✅ Tools That Work Well
Jira + GitHub/GitLab integration
Linear, ClickUp, Notion for lightweight teams
Storybook for managing reusable components alongside backlog
